bar alamo (los alamos, ca)

shelter social club operates a few boutique hotels and bars in the santa barbara area (my fav is the ojai rancho inn's bar chief's peak). bar alamo is located in the alamo hotel and has impeccable design, great tunes, delicious wines, and importantly, a cute outdoor space for picnicking. they have table and lounge chairs and even a tree swing. i always love any time i get to spend here.
